Showerthought: guest posting on 4 real blogs beat the 60 spam links I bought in a Fiverr bundle
Bought a $40 link bundle from a guy on Fiverr 5 months ago, 60 links, all from sites like best-deals-4u dot info. My rankings did nothing for 6 weeks, then dropped 9 spots on my main keyword. So I switched it up and emailed 4 small blogs in my niche, wrote real posts for free, and got 3 dofollow links from sites that get actual traffic. Took way longer but Google started moving me up within a month. Anyone else found that a handful of real links beats a fat pile of junk ones, or am I just lucky?
The "60 spam links from best-deals-4u dot info" part made me laugh because I bought the same kind of bundle once and felt like a genius for about two weeks. Then my rankings tanked, and I spent months disavowing garbage instead of building anything real. Three dofollow links from blogs with actual readers will always beat sixty links from sites nobody visits, so no you are not just lucky.
